Except they spend several hours running the bull to the point of exhaustion, tossing it full of those heavy spears that bleed it, just so mister fancy pants can come up to a weak, tired, suffering animal and kill it with his sissy sword. You don't see a matador jumping into the ring with a fresh bull.I dunno if i'd call anyone willing to put themselves in front of a bull with the very real chance of getting themselves gored, impaled, killed, etc. a coward. :lol:
Foolish, maybe. Coward, no.
When I take over this country, I'm going to reform the British Empire. Then, when we annihilate Spain, I will outlaw it. Absolutely agree with you - it's barbaric and disgusting.Except they spend several hours running the bull to the point of exhaustion, tossing it full of those heavy spears that bleed it, just so mister fancy pants can come up to a weak, tired, suffering animal and kill it with his sissy sword.

I fucking despise bull fighting. :noway:
It was. According to the report on Sky News 'several matadors jumped into the ring to kill the bull'.awesome. too bad the bull was probably killed anyway.
I agree with all of this but you know... How many animals, wich live in far worst conditions of suffering, do we kill each day so we can have hamburgers? Hundreds of millions? I'm not for it (bull fighting), but honestly, I fail to see how killing a bull like that is that shocking. We humans are a bit hypocrite, me thinks. Just sayin'.Except they spend several hours running the bull to the point of exhaustion, tossing it full of those heavy spears that bleed it, just so mister fancy pants can come up to a weak, tired, suffering animal and kill it with his sissy sword.

Chickens are perhaps a better example than cattle. Cattle tend to be fairly well treated, even when they are slaughtered, because stress and misery in cows can spoil the beef. The point is that when they kill your McBurger, they don't chase it around a room for a bit, sticking big heavy spears in it, upsetting it, stressing it out, before finally stabbing it in the throat to kill it, while a bunch of people jeer and cheer on at it's demise.I agree with all of this but you know...

So, are you prepared to agree that dog fighting is part of African American culture? Would you be a good sport if I sat you down at a ring with a forty and a blunt, and told you to get your DMX on? Would you be a good sport and end up having a ball?Don't get me wrong, I respect the fact it's part of spanish culture and if you sat me down at a ring with a wineskin of rioja and told me to get my Hemingway on I'd be a good sport and probably end up having a ball, but no matter who "wins" someone's getting absolutely fucked up.
Much better way of saying what I tried to say. We're on the same page here, it seems.So, are you prepared to agree that dog fighting is part of African American culture?

Sorry to be so harsh, but invoking the name of classic American authors does nothing to romanticize the barbarism of this brutal "tradition". Gladiators fighting lions was a Roman "tradition". Slaves working the cotton fields was a Southern "tradition". I despise it when people justify uncivilized, inhumane behavior by labeling it culture, and if you sat me down at that ring, I'd probably get into a fight with someone who was annoyed at my constant booing and jeering of their torture and slaughter of an innocent animal, mislabeled a "sport". :noway:
